The likeable 34-year-old pilot from Perthwho returned to F1 to replace the Dutchman Nyck de Vries in Alpha Tauri, was transferred to a local clinic, where, after being examined, the aforementioned break in the left hand was verified; so he will not be able to continue participating in a Grand Prix in which Lawson, 21, will replace him. It will be the New Zealander’s debut in the premier class of motorsport.
